Lake Millstätter See: Jewel of Carinthia

Sommerfrische in Kärnten: Der Millstätter See

The location of the Millstätter See region, between the Nockberge Biosphere Reserve, the High Tauern mountains, and the Goldeck and Mirnock peaks, makes it unique. A landscape full of myths and stories. Carinthia's deepest lake has a mild, almost Mediterranean climate that drew both the nobility and the bourgeoisie as early as the turn of the nineteenth century and led to the construction of many villas whose architecture stands comparison with the famous Wörthersee style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With its early medieval abbey Millstatt is also a venue for international art and culture. Nothing is left to chance where tourism is concerned, either: the region's attractions have long been managed by professional adventure directors.
